The Festival of Purim
What does a Jewish hero have to do with a secret, a villain, and big celebrations? Students aged 12 and up learn about the story of Purim and its hero, Esther. Whether fact or fiction, the story and its core message are still meaningful to Jews celebrating the holiday to this day.
Antisemitism – long
A necklace, a jersey, a narrow box and a head covering—what do they all have in common? This learning module explores the ways Jewish people navigate antisemitism in daily life and how showing or hiding their Jewish identity is always a matter of safety.
Hebrew
What happens when a language community lives in the diaspora? Students learn that, wherever Jews have lived over many centuries, Hebrew has always played a role in their lives and communities.
